To all Andy's Friends and Family but especially to Bud and Peggy, I just wanted to let you know that even though his time was too short, that did not stop him from being great and what special parents you must be. Andy should have been the last person to help me, but without Andy's help and friendship I would have not made it through GMI. When I graduated I had a special Diploma made with his name added to my Dipolma. We are all feeling the pain of his loss but let's remember Andy's positive outlook and help each other through this difficlut time. Rob Fischer and Family Beverly Hills, Michigan

My heart goes out to Bud and Peggy and the rest of Andrew's family and friends. While I did not know Andrew, you cannot ask for a nicer couple than Bud and Peg. The hurt is not easily overcome and I want you to know that we all share in the pain.
